A subject can be recorded under various types of lighting conditions
indoors (natural, fluorescent, candlelight, etc.). Because the colour
temperature is different depending on the light source, the subject's
tint will differ, affecting the subject's white balance. Use this function
to correct the white balance and provide a more natural result.
The adjusted setting remains until you set the white balance again.
During normal outdoor recording, setting to
Auto
may provide better
results.
Cancel the digital zoom function for a clear and precise setting.
Reset the white balance if light conditions change.
When you set the underwater mode,
White Balance
is switched to
Auto
and you cannot select the other White Balance submenu items.
